MOM!!! cm0002 says we live in Andromeda, is that true?!!

When it’s morning and people are using words and expecting things from me.

What’s the name of that Talking Heads compilation?
Sand In The Vaseline.

Brutalist playground!

Go ahead children, develop your spatial abilities in an entertaining manner, for the revolution!

In the past week on YouTube, on channels about math and physics, I started getting a constant bombardment of online casino ads. The predatory enshittification is intense anywhere you look.

Locked in a house with a killer fan that has a mind of its’ own!

Ma’am, we’ve traced and located the source of that breeze, it seems to be coming from…

I’m addicted to geodesics.

If I was the historian, I’d like to think I’d take it somewhere in between.
Neither too cold nor too hot, I’d be the Goldilocks Historian on YouTube!

Then I did nothing about it between presidential elections. Nothing. Did not lift a single goddamned finger. Four years later, I demand the party cater to me, Me, ME. An utterly useless deadweight. And smug about it.

That burger in Iron Man definitely should have been In-n-Out to be believable, no 00s hip LA playboy billionaire would have settled for anything less and Burger King in there was like fingernails on a chalkboard.

Here’s how the scene should have played:
Tony Stark is late for the press conference because there was a long line at the In-n-Out on the way from the airport, even though there were only a couple of cars in line at the BK across the street, BK was not an option!

REAL intelligent species celebrate the Half-Life Of The Proton Day!

Then they don’t vote and NEVER figure out that they were manipulated into inaction, they were given that extra nudge to sit and stay home on Election Day.

Some very specific experiments, precise and weird enough to produce some truly abstract results with strong hints of things like electron spin, neutron decay via the Weak Force, photon entanglement.

Or out in the field - imagine hiking to the top of Ben Nevis in Scotland, then going up a further couple of kilometers on a balloon, carrying a camera and a vacuum chamber with an alcohol gas cloud within, to photograph the trajectories and interactions of mysterious particles from space.

Back at Edinburgh or Manchester, wearing your tuxedo on weeknights, for an evening of drinks at the gentlemen’s club, discussing the latest results and implications with your peers, over single malts and cigars.

Maybe he ate some poisoned Princeton cafeteria food that was meant for Kurt Gödel.

instead we studied useful things

Have you ever seen any British television quiz game shows? The amount of world geography and history most contestants seem to know is abismal, makes me scratch my head and seriously wonder what many of these people are doing there, in a game show about knowledge. What are they even doing there, in the delusion that they have a shot.

“What is the capital of Denmark?”
“Erm… pass.”

This person’s comment is just another drop in the bucket in the sorry state of things.

I don’t know, man, it’s always annoying whenever these subjects come up, and the capitalist goblin pulling levers behind a curtain is invoked.

It is the very people themselves who are scared shitless of anything that actually works this powerfully.
It’s either complex evil above or cowardly, lazy ignorance horizontally around you. Which is Occam’s Razor?

“We foresee that this substance might liberate the population’s minds and threaten us robber barons!” sounds too tidy a narrative, and it is attractive, as it puts blame squarely on the shoulders of The Other. It is, however, as flat and simple and false as “both parties are the same”.

Do you know why capitalism is so powerful? Because it gives us what we want. And we suck. There’s no hidden pure angel inside of us waiting to be freed fully formed if they just leave us alone, there’s a lot of inner work to be done, and we suck at it, we don’t wanna do it. We are also a myopic species.
